Shobnom Ferdous

Shobnom Ferdous is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University, located in the College of Sciences and Mathematics. She teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses in Human Anatomy and Physiology (BIOL 2500 and BIOL 2510), contributing to foundational life sciences education.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Biological Sciences – Auburn University, 2013
• M.S. in Biology – Southeast Missouri State University, 2004
• M.Sc. in Zoology – University of Dhaka, 1999
• B.Sc. (Honors) in Zoology – University of Dhaka, 1996

Her research focuses on Human Anatomy and Physiology, Fish Systematics, and Molecular Phylogeny, with a strong methodological emphasis on geometric morphometrics and taxonomic revision. She has applied these techniques to catfish classification and morphological evolution. Her work bridges systematic biology and functional morphology, particularly in aquatic and mammalian species.

The available publications indicate a research trajectory centered on morphological analysis and biodiversity documentation. Her work spans taxonomic revisions, software tool development for morphometrics, and contributions to national biodiversity records. Although limited in number, these publications reflect technical expertise and scholarly contribution in systematics and anatomy.
